Update (1:26PM CDT) All sites on IAD are up, and the SFTP/Upload issues are now resolved. Please contact the helpdesk if you have any outstanding issues, questions, or concerns.

We are going to be immediately performing an emergency maintenance for clusters in our IAD datacenter.

This goal of the maintenance is to resolve issues related to customers not being able to upload to their sites via SFTP or the WordPress dashboard. These issues are occurring as a side effect last night’s scheduled Cloud Block Storage maintenance from Rackspace.

This maintenance will cause sites in IAD to be unavailable while we resolve these issues.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact our helpdesk via your https://my.pressable.com panel and we can address them accordingly.

UPDATE (6:34pm CT): The load balancer and its host machine have recovered. At this time, all sites are up. If you have any lingering issues, please contact our help desk (support@pressable.com).

We are currently seeing issues with sites which are hosted on the Bode galaxy. The issues are related to a problem which Rackspace is currently experiencing on a load balancer utilized by the Bode galaxy.

We appreciate your patience as we work to restore full functionality on the Bode galaxy. Please let us know if you have any additional concerns by reaching out to us through our help desk (help.pressable.com) or by email (support@pressable.com).
